WTF no i'll say WHAT The FUCK GTA....!

Thats super slow. Even for freaking HDD this wouod not be acceptable.

The only problem i can see is your Disc Drive bottlenecking u.

I actually dont know the read speeds of the DVD-ROM drives anymore but thats my best guess.

HDD can unpack and install game files within 35 minutes, SSD within 15 minutes.

Or as mentioned in comments, couod be because u need to download the latest patch amd rockstar server is very slow for u.

 you are looking at the wrong side . i've copied all my discs on SSD first then i unpacked it , that took 30 mints . after that when i tried to install its taking too long . and now its getting stuck on 80% of hours . 

[Gargantua]

I have 16mbps (1.6MB/s down) and i still decided to download it.

When u go to bed its simple to leave the download on while u sleep and them limit it during the day so u have the game in 24hours (still faster than delivery by post).

If u have data cap then u are fucked and your excuse is valid.

i'm gonna shove these discs in the sale's man's Ass .lol don't worry .

Wow, something is wrong then,restart it.

Did u have 120gb free space before u copied all the files onto yiur SSD ?

The game needs 60gb before unpacking and installing. Then it needs another 60 to unpack the files. After that there a two patches and total folder size should be over 61GB.

[Gargantua]

Dude, who the hell use optical discs to install +60GB games these days.....

Me ROFL

[Thony]

UHH Wha? Did I miss something here? I don't own that game. LOL KEEP UP WITH THE CONVERSATION SON!!!!!!!

Yes u are missing the while point. Im not gonna bother explaining. U dont get ut furst and u are winking at me like i dont know what im talking about, u dont need to know.

Have a nice day.

[Gargantua]

In other words Rockstar games don't want us to play it without getting brain fucked .lol?

 

It's cause social club downloads super slow and even if you have the disc version you need to update which is super slow.

People who downloaded it in less than 5 hours got the steam version.

I got the non steam version and it took 12 hours to download on a 200mbps connection

[Snickerzz]

Not sure if you can but maybe try activate the cd-key on steam and just install from there... if it's taken that long it sounds like it's hung (unless it's still progressing)

you can't. you can only get a steam key from buying direct from steam or by purchasing a steam key from a third party like g2a

because everyone was trying to download it from SC at the same time. And the updates so far have been less than 500mb 

 

@OP

What are you installing on? A SSD? HDD? 7200rpm? 5400rpm? 

[Thony]

i'm gonna shove these discs in the sale's man's Ass .lol don't worry .

Heh, u probably should

Alternative:

ask a friend with fast internet connection to help you by doing following:

Take your Hard Drive (or SSD, i dont know what u have) if u have two take the one without operating system, put it in friends computer, buy the game on steam. Download it onto the hardrive and take it back home.

Little annoying process but im just throwing it out there

internet connection 32mbps .

now tell me what to do

now tell me what to do

U have 32mb connection and decided to buy the physocal copy, whyyyyy ? U like having discs or u didnt want to wait for download ?

Why u only have 270mb free space when u had over 200gb before u started installing, its weird.

If u are gonna return the discs i suggest u to delete everything, buy GTA on steam (via steam or other sellers for cheaper and start downloading.

Oh no, my brother installed the disc version and still had to download around 10gb

[Alpha55]

Glad I got it from Steam. I couldn`t deal with 7 discs plus GTA V dled in less than 35 minutes.

[BuckGup]

Hi am i the only one facing this shit or its normal ?

 

i've bought GTA V last night and it was compressed on 7 DVD. 

 

when i decompressed it , the game took hardly 10 mints 

and when i started installation , its been 9+ fucking hours and its still on 80.4 % and still installing ......WTF is this

 

for playing it why someone bother to install a 67 GB shit and what for almost 12 hours to install .

 

My rig

i7 4790k stock

8b ram 1866 fsb

480 intel SSD where i'm installing it .

Windows 7 (fully up dated) SP1 

You act like that is a surprise. But seriously who still uses CDs. Like 7 is getting pretty extreme when you could just easily download it for the same amount of install time/

[Snickerzz]

Oh no, my brother installed the disc version and still had to download around 10gb

really? dumb
